Review process and included in the
ASC Compliance Review Report to a
State. Proposed Policy Statement 8 sets
forth procedures in the event the ASC
imposes interim sanctions against a

appendices. The ASC requested
comment on its proposal and set a 60day comment period, originally
scheduled to end on October 29, 2012.

period is extended and comments must

Information Collection Request Title:
Evaluation of the National Partnership
for Action to End Health Disparities.
Abstract: OMH in the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH),
Office of the Secretary (OS) is requesting
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for new data
collection activities for the Evaluation of
the National Partnership for Action to
End Health Disparities (NPA). The NPA
was officially launched in April 2011 to
mobilize a nationwide, comprehensive,
community-driven, and sustained
approach to combating health
disparities and to move the nation
toward achieving health equity. Using
an approach that vests those at the front
line with the responsibility of
identifying and helping to shape core
actions, new approaches and new
partnerships are being established to
help close the health gap in the United
States.
OMH proposes to conduct an
evaluation of the NPA. The evaluation’s
goal is to determine the extent to which
the NPA has contributed to the
elimination of health disparities and
attainment of health equity in our
nation. The evaluation will accomplish
this goal by (1) Determining the degree
to which a structure (e.g., partnerships,
programmatic reach, communications,
committees) to implement the NPA
goals and strategies has been
established; (2) The collection, analysis,
and summarization of baseline data for
core indicators of immediate and
intermediate outcomes (e.g., changes in
policy, procedures, and practices to
diversify workforce, promote cultural
competency, affect social determinants,
build leadership, and increase public
support for ending health disparities
and achieving health equity); (3)
Developing criteria for promising
practices for ending health disparities
and identifying such practices; (4)
Beginning to monitor data on social
determinants of health and health
outcomes using secondary sources.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions, to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information, to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information, and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
